出埃及記 5:18 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 5:18

Go therefore now, and work
Go about your business, attend to your work, even you officers, as well as your people; work yourselves, as well as see that your people do theirs, and do not trouble me with such impertinent applications:

for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of
bricks;
the usual number of bricks, as the Vulgate Latin version has it; though in ( Exodus 5:8 ) , it is rendered in that version the measure of bricks, and so another word is translated by them, ( Exodus 5:14 ) , and perhaps both may be intended, both number and measure; that is, that it was expected and insisted on that they delivered the full number of bricks they used to make, and these of full measure; for bricks were made of different measures, as Vitruvius F16 observes; some among the bricks were of two hands' breadth, others of four, and a third sort of five. (See Gill on Exodus 5:7).

出埃及記 5:18 In-Context

16 督 工 的 不 把 草 給 僕 人 , 並 且 對 我 們 說 : 做 磚 罷 ! 看 哪 , 你 僕 人 挨 了 打 , 其 實 是 你 百 姓 的 錯 。
17 但 法 老 說 : 你 們 是 懶 惰 的 ! 你 們 是 懶 惰 的 ! 所 以 說 : 容 我 們 去 祭 祀 耶 和 華 。
18 現 在 你 們 去 做 工 罷 ! 草 是 不 給 你 們 的 , 磚 卻 要 如 數 交 納 。
19 以 色 列 人 的 官 長 聽 說 你 們 每 天 做 磚 的 工 作 一 點 不 可 減 少 , 就 知 道 是 遭 遇 禍 患 了 。
20 他 們 離 了 法 老 出 來 , 正 遇 見 摩 西 、 亞 倫 站 在 對 面 ,
